Proper maintenance and care will help to prolong the life of the trampoline and reduce the possibility of injury.

All trampolines require maintenance at some point. Springs may need to be replaced, rail pieces may become bent, and stitching in the mat and frame pads may rot out. The following maintenance guidelines should always be observed.

Inspection (Trampoline)

Inspect the trampoline before each use and replace any worn, defective, or missing parts. The following conditions could represent potential hazards:
• Missing, improperly positioned, or insecurely attached frame padding
• Puncture, frays, tears, or holes worn in the bed or frame padding
• Deterioration in the stitching or fabric of the bed or frame padding
• Ruptured springs
• A bent or broken frame
• A sagging bed
• Sharp protrusions on the frame or suspension system

Inspection (Safety Enclosure)

Inspect the trampoline enclosure before each use and replace any worn, defective, or missing parts. The following conditions could represent potential hazards:
• Missing, improperly positioned, or insecurely attached barrier or enclosure support system (frame) padding and pole caps
• Puncture, frays, tears, or holes worn in the barrier or support system (frame) padding
• Deterioration in the stitching or fabric of the barrier or support system (frame) padding
• Ruptured springs
• Bent or broken support system (frame)
• A sagging barrier
• Sharp protrusions on the support system (frame) or suspension system

Note: The “bed” mentioned above and elsewhere in this manual, refers to the jumping surface (generally referred to as the “mat”). The “barrier” mentioned above and elsewhere in this manual, refers to the safety enclosure netting. The “frame” mentioned refers to the rail assembly pieces of the trampoline.

If any of the above conditions exist, your trampoline system must be disassembled or otherwise protected against use until the condition is remedied.

Note: Inspect the trampoline before each use and replace any worn, defective, or missing parts.
Safety Checklist (Trampoline)

Frame Pad

The frame pad reduces the risk of accidental injury due to falling onto the frame railing and gives minimal resistance to striking or falling on and through the springs. The frame pad life-expectancy is one to two years. To increase life of pad:
• Do not allow jumpers to stand or sit on pad
• Do not allow jumpers to grab pad in order to pull themselves onto trampoline
• Do not allow sharp, abrasive objects to come in contact with the pad surface
• If you have a safety enclosure installed, rotate the pad periodically to spread out wear and tear

Trampoline Mat

The trampoline mat requires periodic re-stitching maintenance every two to three years. Normal mat life is approximately five to eight years with two re-stitchings. Make sure the trampoline is visually inspected by a responsible adult, checking the stitching carefully at each V-ring before every use.

Pole Foam

The pole foam and vinyl pole sleeve life expectancy is two to five years. To increase the life of your pole foam and sleeves, do not allow people to grab them in order to pull themselves onto the trampoline.

Net

The net, support straps, and bungee cords will require frequent inspection for deterioration or fraying. Life expectancy is three to five years for the net, and one to three years for the straps and bungees.

Safety Rules

Review this manual with all jumpers. Maintain all warning labels and signs. If labels or signs become lost or unreadable, write or call the trampoline manufacturer.

Windy Conditions

It is possible for the trampoline to be blown about by a high wind. If you anticipate high winds, the frame should be secured to the ground with the use of a suitable trampoline anchor kit. If you anticipate severe winds, the trampoline should be moved to a sheltered location or completely disassembled.

Moving the Trampoline

If you need to move your trampoline periodically, it should be moved by at least two people, and kept horizontal during the move. Both people should stand next to each other on one of the short ends of the trampoline, and lift that end of the trampoline. Rotate that end of the trampoline about five feet, then go to the opposite end of the trampoline, and do the same thing. This will slowly rotate each end of the trampoline toward your desired destination, and is the easiest way to move the trampoline due to its heavy weight. Disassemble the trampoline for any move greater than a few feet.

Care

Do not allow family pets on the trampoline, as claws may snag and pull the trampoline mat material or net material, or damage the frame pad or pole foam. The trampoline is intended to be used by one person at a time, weighing less than the manufacturers recommended maximum weight. The user should either be barefoot or wearing gymnastic slippers or non-cleated athletic shoes. The user should remove all sharp objects from their person that may cause
